peter 8c51062e5b fix(api,ui): the demo refusal says why at every site, and the contract guard cannot fail open
Round 6 converted three of four `is_demo` 403s to a structured detail and wrote a docstring saying it
had converted all the sites there are. The account-delete route in `routes/me.py` still answered a
hand-written English sentence, which `notifyActionError` discards in favour of the caller's
translated fallback — so the demo user gets no hint that the demo account is the reason. It is
UI-gated today, so the string is unreachable; what was reachable was the false completeness claim,
which is precisely what stops the next reader from looking. The site is converted, and the list is
now DERIVED from the source: a new test walks `app/` for every `is_demo`-guarded 403, asserts each
raises a structured detail, and fails when the count moves — so this file cannot fall behind the code
the way it just did.

The same round's frontend contract guard was failing open. Its pattern required a bare identifier
before `.detail` and excluded `.detail` used as a last call argument, so `setErr(e.detail)`,
`(e as HttpError).detail`, `String(e.detail)` and four more idiomatic forms were invisible — and
because the file set is compared with `toEqual`, a file the pattern cannot see is simply never listed
and the gate stays green over a fresh copy of the contract. Widened to cover cast receivers, optional
chains and call-argument reads; the pinned set is unchanged, so the narrowing had removed no false
positive. A destructured `detail` stays out of reach (a pattern loose enough for it fires on
react-query's own `const { data: detail }`), and that hole is written into the test rather than
papered over with two innocent files.

Its anti-vacuity guard also did not guard anything: the comment says the glob must have matched
something, but the assertion under it read a sibling file by its own URL, which resolves whether or
not the glob enumerated anything. That only mattered while the pinned list was non-empty — the moment
the deferral sweep lands and it becomes [], the whole file would pass over a glob matching zero
files. The scan size is asserted now.

peter a0114deff1 fix(api,ui): a refused write says why, wherever the refusal happens
Round 5 taught `notifyActionError` to discard a plain-string `detail` in favour
of the caller's translated fallback, because `req` leaves 403/404/429 to the
caller and those routes hand-write English. Three places did not get the
message.

**The demo account lost its explanation.** `require_human` refused with a plain
string, so from that commit on the shared demo account got its caller's generic
"couldn't do that" and no hint that the demo account was the reason — and the
gate is not backed by a UI gate everywhere: the comfort shelf has no `is_demo`
check, so the pin button is live and simply fails. A structured `{code: "demo"}`
and an `errors.demo` string in both locales. The two auth routes that hand-roll
the same check were swept with it.

**`ChatThread` carried a second copy of the contract.** It filtered 404/429
itself and then did `e.detail || t(…)`, the pre-fix order, so the central fix
could not reach it and "That member hasn't set up messaging yet." stayed English
under a Hungarian UI. It goes through the shared helper now, and a contract test
pins the remaining raw-`detail` consumers as an explicit SET — never a count —
so a new copy fails the gate instead of shipping. The five on that list are
inline surfaces (a form field's error line, a setup banner) and are deferred
with the ~60 backend routes whose details they print.

**The Plex "Add to playlist" dialog was still silent.** Same shape as the
collection editor round 5 fixed and the YouTube twin that already had the fix:
no catch, so a playlist deleted on another device answered a structured 404 that
nothing reported — the tick never flipped, the gone row stayed, and the floating
promise became an unhandled rejection.

Also: the `ABORTED` sentinel's VALUE was asserted nowhere. The consumer test
hand-built the error it expected, so replacing `xhr.onabort`'s rejection with a
friendlier message left the lane green — and every upload the user cancels would
then raise a red "the upload failed" toast, which is what the sentinel prevents.
Both producer tests assert through `isAborted` now.

And two backend tests were pinning fewer sites than their own docstrings claimed:
the channel-404 loop said "all five" and issued three requests (explore and
subscribe unexercised, the excuse for subscribe naming a different call site
with a different reason slug), and the recipient/job test named three refusals
and requested two — `share_download`'s `not_found("recipient")` had no test in
the suite at all, nor did the locale keys added beside it. Every site named now
has a request behind it.

6 tests, mutation-checked against 7 mutations: the demo detail at both the gate
and an auth route, a re-hand-rolled ChatThread, the silent Plex dialog, the
abort sentinel, and each unpinned 404 — all red on the test that names them.
